 great for precise deep sky measuring April 15, 2003

Redshift is a great piece of soft-ware, but starry night just beats it. The advantages however of red-shift V starry night are that redshift contains far more data at a cheaper price than say starry night backyard, although it doesn't contain a 'night sky' colour. Starry night pro is by far better but a hell of alot dearer so redshift is a great option. Another dislike to redshift is that it is far slower, as when you say, change azimuth or altitude using your mouse control, it moves a second after youve done it rather than 'with it'. Brilliant for deep sky information. All in all a great buy for amateurs and above!!-you can't really go wrong, and the lectures are fab too!
A first class piece of software January 28, 2002

If you are intested in astronomy or just curious about the night sky then buy this now! It can give views from many locations of a vast range of ojects. It can, for instance, show the sky at your location in detail and at the same time in another window a view looking "down on the solar system". It is easy to use but has depth and will repay examining the "Workspaces" (setups) which you can download, to show just what can be done with this application. A galactic bargain.
This software is 2.5 million stars not 5 !!!! October 10, 2001

This software is grat!
If you want to use it for studying at home.
The only bad thing is that this software dont have the night vision option.
The videos are great, the images are great, the options are great, the RS4 is better than RS3, so, JUST BUY IT !
The best software at the best price!
I still dont beleave this price!
Marvellous! September 1, 2001

This is just about the best value software I've ever had the pleasure to purchase and to use. Staggering amounts of wonderfully accurate astronomical data and information, lots of control over a profusion of elements, and with an excellent user interface which is very easy to learn, despite its complexity. When I was a young teenager, over 30 years ago, then at the hight of my passion for astronomy, I would have sold my soul to the devil for this - but nothing like it existed then! Believe me, even at two or three times the asking price it would be a gift, so if you are feeling even slightly tempted to try this software, stop thinking about it and buy it!
As good as everybody says August 29, 2001

I haven't checked out Starry Night, which also seems to get raves, but I can confirm Redshift is outstanding. You can do just about anything that an enthusiastic amateur is likely to want. It takes a while to figure things out - there's no printed manual, which is understandable at this price - but it's worth investing the couple of hours it takes. Like the other reviewer said, at this price it's a no-brainer.
